The Conjuring

 

Miss Me?

The movie, “The Conjuring” a movie directed by the awesome James Wan, Written by Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes, starts off with paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) Warren revealing to an auditorium of college students the story of two nurses who gave permission to a supposed spirit named Annabelle to possess their doll. This creepy little demon possessed Barbie doll redecorated their apartment with red crayon, totally freaking the nurses so bad they threw lil Annabelle in a dumpster. Did she stay there? Why heck NO!

The story then goes to moving day for the Perron Family.  Roger (Ron Livingston) and Carolyn (Lilli Taylor) move their family into a nice little farm house in Rhode Island for a little peace and quiet. So they thought. I knew something was up when Sadie, the family dog wouldn’t cross the front door threshold. Oh yay, the dawg knows.

 

The family gets busy with the unpacking and they settle into the farm house with its dingy walls, hey mom, mix up some bleach water and put them kids to work. They happily begin to settle into their new life.  It was all going well until daughter April (Kyla Deaver) finds a music box underneath a creepy old tree.  A hidden entrance to a dark and gloomy cellar is found during a fun game of hide and clap. Mom starts waking up with bruises. All the clocks in the house stop at 3:07, then, poor Sadie. Poor, poor Sadie. That’s all I have to say about that.

 

Then we are in Monroe, Connecticut, in the lovely home of the Warren family. Would be very lovely if not for their creepy little room of Horrors. Ain’t no way I would go to sleep in that house, I don’t care how many priest come bless that room.

 

Back at the Perron’s house, Ole Sadie is laid to rest and the clocks are reset. The family settle down for bed. All is good until something starts playing footsy with daughter Christine (Joey King).  Daughter Nancy (Hayley McFarland) accuses Christine of farting. Dad is awoken by strange knocking sounds. Mom still hasn’t washed them dingy walls, and doors start to open up all by themselves.

 

Come to find out the sounds are of Cindy (Mackenzie Foy) sleep walking repeatedly into an armoire in Andrea’s (Shanley Caswell) room. Carolyn continues to wake up with bruises. Roger has to go to work and birds start flying into the house. The bigger kids start school, leaving little April to make a new friend named Rory. April tries to introduce Carolyn to Rory. But he is being shy. They decide to play a game of hide and clap. Instead of playing mama really needs to wash them dingy walls. She follows the claps into Andrea’s room. Guess what? April isn’t the one clapping. Oh yay, it’s about to get good.

 

Nightfall comes again and the family settle down for another nights rest. Another game of footsy starts in Nancy and Christine’s room. Honestly that is when all hell breaks loose. Don’t look under the bed Christine! The hair is standing up on the back of my neck just thinking about it. Yikes! Christine see’s someone behind the door. Nancy wants to prove her wrong. Then someone farts again. The door slams shut and the screaming begins. To include my own girlish screams.

 

The next night mom is drawn down stairs by a noise. All the pictures fall off the dingy walls. Someone decides to play Hide and Clap. Door to the cellar opens all by itself. Mom is pushed down the cellar stairs and Cindy starts sleep walking again in Andrea’s room. Andrea lures Cindy back in bed when the Armoire takes on a life of its own. Cindy wakes up and screams as the houses hidden occupant makes herself known. Dad shows up to find the house in mayhem.

 

Sometime later, Carolyn attends a seminar given by the Warren’s and seeks out their help. Me, I would have moved. Forget getting help. I don’t care if there was a mortgage left to deal with. I don’t care if I had to live with my five kids in a tent on the side of the road. I woulda moved ASAP. But, Carolyn goes to find the Warren’s instead.

The Warren’s arrive and find the family camped out in the living room. The family was too scared to sleep upstairs. The Warren’s immediately know that something is henky with the house. Lorraine gets to see firsthand the entity that haunts the lives of this family. The Warren’s assemble a paranormal crew and invade the Perron home. They use cameras and other paranormal equipment to get to the heart of the haunting.  

 

Carolyin lays down for a nap and wakes up in a really bad mood. She is possessed by a witch haunting her house. She is convinced by this spirit to kill her children.

 

 

The Warrens undergo a vigilant battle to free Carolyn from the evil spirit.
